The Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee has launched a criminal investigation in a crime under part 2 of article 105, part 1 of article 356 of the RF Penal Code (murder of two or more people, use of prohibited means and ways of warfare) following a shelling of a bus stop in the town of Donetsk that claimed lives of civilians. According to investigators on 22 January at about 8:30 AM, the bus stop was shelled from mortars. At least 8 civilians were killed and 12 more wounded.

Based on the preliminary information investigators have, the priority theory that is being looked into is involvement of military men of Ukrainian Army and National Guard of Ukraine in the shelling. However, the final conclusions will be made only after all the circumstances and material evidence are studied.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseny Yatsenyuk hastily accused Russia of that cynical crime, but not aware of than himself, basically confessed of who is to be blamed for that.

This is just the case when a thief cries: “Stop thief!” This looks like another carbon-copy allegation of the Ukrainian side, as those published after the Malaysian Boeing crash, an explosion of a bus in Vonovakha and other incidents.

It seems like that such allegations are written before barbarian murders happen. So we can congratulate Yatsenyuk and the ministry of propaganda he has built. You learned well from your teacher Goebbels, who once said: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it”.
